(and she kicked and screamed and only did it one more time ever)...
Easter is coming y'all! Remembrance of the greatest gift ever given, the annual Smith egg hunt.....and new dresses! Well here is my first attempt, (two years ago), at an Easter dress to get you in the mood to sew something for the little one's in your life...
This was my second sewing project ever. It's a "See & Sew" pattern #B5198. It was a bear to sew. I'm not sure if it was the pattern or just that I was so new to sewing in general but it seemed excessively hard at the time.
(PS- check out that wrist chub- she slays me. I'm so in love)
It's supposed to have a zipper but I fell for these buttons so I adjusted it a bit for elastic loops and buttons instead...
In retrospect I should have used a solid fabric, it turned out way too busy for my taste even with the seemingly simple pattern. I like the bright springiness of it, but it seems a bit overwhelming.
So there you have it- dress, bag, and headband (way too scrunchy- live and learn) all made by Mama for my first girl on her second easter. (And for the record the things she's double fisting are grapes and strawberries- a treat but not one to make a kid go crazy in church, just one to make Mama stress about the dress and strawberry juice...).
I'll be back next week with last years dresses for both my girls (and a pair of pants for the boy!), and the week after that with this years skirts. Happy dress making folks-
Can I just say you have dang impressive sewing skills. For your second prject ever and following a pattern this dress looks amazing!! I have sewn many patterns and they all are ok looking. I LOVE your dresses from last year. Can't wait to see them again!!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't think anyone could compete with Bennett's wrist chub UNTIL I saw your precious little one! The dress is super cute, and I also can't believe that you sewed SEW well on your second project ever! nicely done...
